Jiapingguan Chronicle

"You left the capital at the age of fifteen? Have you never gone back?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Why do you feel like a golden cicada has escaped from its shell? It seems that you left the capital on purpose, and then sneaked back secretly, right?"

"That's what I thought too." Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian exchanged glances and nodded at the same time, "It seemed like they were going to cause trouble, but it was not convenient for me to come forward, so I found an excuse and ran out."

"Indeed." Mr. Jiang also agreed with their statement, "When I saw this place, I was the same as you. After all, all the good things are in the capital. He shouldn't be able to do much by running out, except for some experience. Other than that, it seems like nothing can be done.”

"That's the feeling." Shen Cha nodded and looked at Mr. Jiang, "Has his master, the great monk from Xiangguo Temple, come back? If I remember correctly, historical data records that the great monk was in He passed away in his own delivery room, right? At that time, he was already over seventy years old, nearly a hundred years old, right?"

"Yes, a rare centenarian, God." Mr. Jiang nodded, "The host came back the next year, but Master Fa Lian did not come back. As for whether the empress asked about his whereabouts, Emperor Yongjia's Notes There is no clear record in the inner court files of that year. But one thing is certain, that is, in the third year after Master Fa Lian left the capital, his jade plate disappeared inexplicably."

"Missing?" Xue Ruitian shook his head gently, "Are you sure it's missing, not lost or stolen?"

"I can't even find them. They must have disappeared." Second Master Jiang sighed, looked at them, and said with a smile, "Isn't it incredible?"

"It's incredible." Xue Ruitian spread his hands, "The jade plate is a symbol of the prince's status. No matter which dynasty or generation, the jade plate is kept by the clan elders and is closely guarded. It is placed in the most secret place of the ancestral hall. No. It is absolutely impossible to take it out on important occasions. Unless it is theft, it is impossible to lose it, let alone disappear." He looked at Mr. Jiang, "Do you believe this?"

"Of course I don't believe it." Second Master Jiang waved his hand, "Before the jade dish was lost, someone who was suspected of being Master Fa Lian went to meet the elders of the clan, and soon there were rumors that the jade dish had disappeared. , maybe he took it himself."

"Can I take it myself?"

"It should be possible to bribe the elders, right?" Second Master Jiang looked at Zhen Buhui, "Of course, I don't know about the situation in the previous dynasty, but it is not allowed in this dynasty. Let alone a relative, it is a king with a different surname. It’s also impossible to take away your own jade plate.”

"A king with a different surname?" Zhen Buhui blinked, "Are you talking about our prince and son?"

"Yes!" Mr. Jiang nodded, "It's the two of them. Logically speaking, in a situation like theirs, after being crowned king, they also have to go through a certain process. If they are called brothers today, then they are A sworn brother does not need to be on a jade plate, but if it is commensurate with today's father and son, then it is an adoptive father-son relationship. According to the laws of this dynasty, he must be on a jade plate, so..." He said to Zhen Bu Hui spread his hands and said, "That is to say..." "Our prince and young master are both on the jade plate, until now."

"Yes!" Mr. Jiang nodded, "Even if the person is gone, the jade plate cannot be destroyed. This is the rule of this dynasty. Moreover, even if you encounter the situation of two uncles who want to take away their own jade plate , that is absolutely impossible. It is possible that the previous dynasty was different from us, or Master Falian provoked Emperor Yongjia again, otherwise, it should not be a problem at all. But if there is really a problem, with It’s impossible not to write something about Emperor Yongjia’s character in the manuscript, right?”

"According to this theory, it is very likely that he took it himself, but no one knows why he did this. Maybe we will know what happened when we see him." Xue Ruitian sighed, "If it is It's okay if he took it himself, but if he was expelled from the family and was provoked and wanted revenge, it's not impossible, right?"

"That's right..." Shen Cha blinked, "There is such a small amount of truth that no one else would be able to bear."

"That's right." Jin Jing nodded, "One tragedy creates a series of tragedies, right? Similarly, this also led to the destruction of the previous dynasty. It feels like it is not just the absurdity of the last emperor, nor the people in the court. How domineering he is is all related to this big change, and the root cause lies in those so-called accidents in the capital."

"That's true." Shen Cha sighed, "Actually, Master Falian doesn't care much about whether his father and mother love him and whether they still remember him when he grows up. After all, he doesn't care much about them. Emotions, right? That is to say, they have no feelings for each other, but he still feels a sense of belonging to his family, right? If even this belonging is deprived of him, then he will probably go crazy, and also He will be very crazy. But this is just my guess. After all, I don’t know this Master Falian very well. Even before the second grandfather mentioned this person, I had never heard of his name. He seemed to be a very good person. A low-key, tolerant person. But generally speaking, the more this kind of person is, the scarier and more uncontrollable he seems to be."

"That's right, that's why it has developed to this point." Shen Haolin nodded, agreed with Shen Cha's statement, and said, "I don't know this person very well, I don't know what he has gone through, and I don't know his nature. What it is, I can only say that if his story were placed on ourselves, we might make even more extreme and even more drastic choices than he did."

"Indeed." Jin Jing nodded, "It is even possible that the accident of the former crown prince will happen again. Since the father is unkind, then don't blame the son for being unfilial, right?"

"Yeah!" Shen Cha raised her chin towards Zhen Buhui and asked him to see how the sea chart was drying. Seeing Zhen Buhui shaking his head, she continued, "If Master Falian really received such treatment , then everything he does makes sense. But, I don’t quite understand why he wants to target us? We didn’t have anything to do with him before, right?”

"It really doesn't matter. Although we are nobles, we are very seriously excluded by the clan, and we will also be excluded by the royal family. After all, in the end, the royal family and the clan are one, right?" Xue Ruitian spread his hands, "This is true. It’s puzzling.”
